The bestselling author of Find Me and Call Me by Your Name returns
to the essay form with this collection of thoughts on time, the
creative mind, and great lives and works. The irrealis mood knows
no boundaries between what is and what isn't, between what happened
and what won't. In more ways than one, the essay about the artists,
writers, and great minds gathered in this volume have nothing to do
with who I am, or who they were, and my reading of them may be
entirely erroneous.But I misread them the better to read myself.
From meditations on subway poetry and the temporal resonances of an
empty Italian street, to considerations of the lives and work of
Sigmund Freud, Constantine Cavafy, W. G.Sebald, John Sloan, Eric
Rohmer, Marcel Proust, and Fernando Pessoa, and portraits of cities
such as Alexandria and St. Petersburg, Homo Irrealis is a deep
reflection of the imagination's power to shape our memories under
time's seemingly intractable hold.
